Hey all. Just a simple question...when you are part of an NROTC unit at a university, can you pick any major? Of course, like you all, I want to fly and my major right now is political science. Does that pose any problems? Thanks for any responses.
 
Tech major helps, but only to compensate for most tech major's lower GPAs, don't sweat it. I was an Aerospace Engineering major... in retrospect I should have been a business major and enjoyed college a lot more. I still would have selected SNA.
 
You can be any major you want. Christ, one of the Ensigns I was commissioned with was a Theater major and was designated an SNFO! You pick any major you want. Whatever makes you happy.
 
Yeah you can do whatever major you want. Still if you're going for a scholarship they're looking for the technical majors. You can always start engineering and change in college.
 
It's true that your major is considered BUT it only counts for 6% of your overall service selection! Hope this helps!!

I was wanting to major in airway science, but I thought that they didn't give scholarships for that area, but since you say any major will go that is what I think I will choose. I know that having an aviation degree will not really give you a leg up on becoming a navy pilot, but if it is what you really want to study why not major in it!!
